-There were only two shades available in Sydney.-I bought two shades but ended using the lighter one because my skin type is "acidic" meaning that any make-up gets darker on my skin.-My skin had a bluish cast-The product did get darker on my skin as the day progressed.-I felt oily the whole day.-Had to retouch several times.-This is not a BB Cream but more like a tinted moisturizer.-My skin broke out!-My face felt sticky.-After sweating, my face felt cakey and clogged.

Verdict:If you're looking for a nice tinted moisturizer and your skin is not as acidic as mine, then maybe this will work on you. But as for me, I will use this sometimes if I don't need too much coverage or if I just want to look pretty at home hahaha. I will not buy this again.
